I used to be able to use the side buttons on my Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000 (I had them set to go back/forward in my browser), also the scroll wheel could be used to activate Expose). For some time now, however, they don't work (only the two main left/right buttons and scroll wheel [when scrolling] do what they're supposed to).
I went to the Microsoft Hardware Discussion Forums but they were useless, also I contacted M$ directly but they told me there was like a $29.95 service fee to ask for help because it was purchased as an OEM item. I tried downgrading to the previous version of Intellipoint (which used to work) but it didn't help. Even USB Overdrive couldn't make them work, which surprised me. Is it something in the latest versions of Leopard that created the problem?
(I'd try a new mouse but I like this one and I've been using it for a long time so I'm used to it.)
